0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

Viber Media S.à r.l. operates Viber, a global telecommunications platform providing free and secure voice and video calls, messaging, and community features. Owned by Rakuten, Viber targets a broad audience seeking reliable communication tools across mobile and desktop platforms. The website demonstrates a mature digital presence with comprehensive content, strong branding, and multilingual support. Technically, the site leverages WordPress CMS with modern analytics and marketing tools such as Google Analytics, Mixpanel, and Google Tag Manager, hosted likely on Akamai infrastructure, ensuring fast performance and mobile optimization. Security posture is robust with HTTPS enforced, cookie consent mechanisms, and some security best practices observed, though explicit security headers could be confirmed. Privacy compliance is well addressed with detailed policies and GDPR-aligned consent. The absence of public WHOIS data indicates privacy protection, common for large brands, and does not detract from legitimacy. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and well-structured, supporting Viber's market position as a leading communication service.

This scan rated NIS2 with an earlier keyword method that is no longer shown; rescan for the per-article view. Risk management, continuity, supply chain, training, MFA, management oversight (Art. 20) and incident reporting (Art. 23) need internal evidence, and Guard cannot tell whether NIS2 applies to this organisation.

GDPR is indicative only, based on publicly visible signals: Articles 7, 12, 13 and 32 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. Not a certification or legal assessment.

Priority findings

3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

    • High

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  2. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

Results by check

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.

How this score is calculated

The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

Not counted

  • NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.
  • OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. Shown on its own.

Findings that cap the score at 49

Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.

  • The certificate is not trusted by browsers
  • The website is not served over HTTPS
  • A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet
  • The page loads a script from a compromised source
  • The domain registration has expired
  • SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain

Partial scans

When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

Viber is positioned as a major player in the telecommunications sector, offering a freemium model with free messaging and calls supplemented by paid services like Viber Out. Its integration within the Rakuten ecosystem provides strategic partnerships and cross-promotion opportunities. The business model focuses on user engagement through rich features such as group chats, stickers, and communities, targeting general consumers worldwide. The website's multilingual support and extensive partner links reflect a global market approach. Revenue streams likely include paid calling credits and business services. The company maintains a strong brand presence with consistent messaging and professional content, supported by a mature marketing and analytics infrastructure.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security foundation with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms in place, indicating awareness of privacy regulations. Use of scripts to prevent user enumeration and integration of OneTrust for cookie management further enhance security. However, explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options were not explicitly detected in the HTML source and should be verified. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the content. The lack of a public vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file suggests room for improvement in transparency and incident response readiness. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from enhanced header configurations and formalized disclosure channels.

Recommendations

  1. Verify and implement explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen browser security.
  2. Publish a clear vulnerability disclosure policy and consider adding a security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  3. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate risks from external libraries.
  4. Enhance contact information availability, including security and incident response contacts, to improve trust and compliance.
  5. Continue to monitor and update privacy and cookie policies to maintain GDPR and global privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries and analytics tools including Google Analytics, Mixpanel, and Google Tag Manager. It employs OneTrust for cookie consent management, ensuring compliance with privacy regulations. The presence of Akamai Boomerang scripts suggests hosting or CDN services by Akamai, contributing to fast load times and global content delivery. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and uses standard web fonts and icons (Font Awesome, Roboto). Performance appears fast with asynchronous loading of scripts and optimized media. Technical debt is minimal, but continuous updates and security audits are recommended to maintain infrastructure quality and mitigate risks.
Standards and sources

Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
